Your child's room is an important space. That is where their great adventures are planned, inspired pictures are drawn, and where he or she can transport to a world of make believe. When you work towards designing a room that your child loves, you are nurturing their imagination and allowing them to be whoever they want to be.
This course will guide you through key decisions in the planning and decorating process of designing a kids room. You'll find practical advice, inspiring ideas and step-by-step projects. All of the projects can be tackled over a weekend with some taking less than a few hours to complete.
Designing a child's room is an opportunity to bring out the adventure and imagination within. You and your child can bond over time spent building that castle bed, painting the planets and galaxy on the walls, or finding the perfect dinosaur wallpaper. Sign up today to start making memories.
